Sony Ericsson jumped on the pleasant-smelling phone bandwagon at the start of 2007. Now, thanks to NTT Communications, stinky phones just got that little bit weirder.

This is a freestanding $195 device which will possibly be released at the end of March 2009. It holds 16 cartridges of base scents, not unlike an inkjet printer’s basic colours. These base scents can mix up more elaborate and exotic stenches when they receive instructions from a mobile phone. The system also accepts smell messages via e-mail, so you can plan your evening smell-fest remotely.

Technology can be strange.
